Entity Framework is not a tough section to learn. It is easy to learn, easy to understand and easy to implement. In this tutorial, you will learn everything about Entity Framework 6 with complete programming example.
What is Entity Framework 6?
An Entity Framework is Object/Relation Mapping (ORM) Framework that allows you to easily create and connect to a database. In a simple word, Entity Framework does the entire database related task automatically based on your model class. You don’t need to worry about creating tables in a database. Just create a model class in your code and leave rest of the database related task to Entity Framework.
Entity Framework was a part of .NET Framework, but since Entity Framework version 6 it is separated from .NET Framework.
